UPDATE: INSTALLED PICS ADDED of my Prodrive GT-1

ebo03 · 03-05-2008, 05:55 AM

I was on Subaru's UK website and stumbled across these Prodrive wheels. Called the GT-1, I think Prodrive has them on their Aston Martin's too. I'd love to get my hands on a set of these but would hate to pay the pounds for them

I always look at prodrive-japan.com when I look at their offerings. It's where I found my wheels in the desired size and offset.

^^ The GT-1 is the wheel that came with the RB320, and looks to be an option through Subaru UK. Unfortunately, it's not available through Prodrive Japan, at least not that I'm aware of.

you have to be willing to pay to play when it comes to the high end prodrive wheels.

Don't I know it.

GC-014

GT1

They look kinda the same to me.

Dragicon · 03-05-2008, 10:13 AM

^ Look very different to me. GT1 FTW.

***boondocksaint*** · 03-05-2008, 10:17 AM

The only difference I see is the center cap. And the GT1 pic is low res, so it's hard to see details. But, meh, I'm juggling fifty tabs here.

They are different....the finish, spoke cross section, and the way the spokes flare apart closer to the ends on the GT1/RB320

The GC-014i was released at last year Tokyo Auto Salon and man was it sexy. I still wish I could afford a set in Gold (and that in 17x8.5 it came in Gold...)

I had to order mine from Japan to get the size/offset/color I wanted. I see that the gold is not listed in the size you want. That doesn't mean you can't have them. PM a vendor and inquire. What's the worst that could happen?

what would the price/weight difference be compared to something like this ?

Since Rays makes Prodrive wheels, I think the prices are going to be about the same. Weight varies, I guess, based on the spoke design, etc., according to how much material is used.

Rays doesn't make ALL of prodrive rims....but I agree that the prices will probably be pretty close.

I didn't say that they made ALL Prodrive rims either.

The ones on my car came from Rays of Japan. I think Rays makes all of their forged wheels, but I've no proof of that.
